Cherry Creek School District ROCKS!

I am loving me some Cherry Creek right now!

Today is our first day participating in their Home/Hospital Program and I am very thankful to have access to this wonderful opportunity. During this phase of chemotherapy Jacob's immune system will be very compromised, preventing him from attending class at Red Hawk Ridge. Through this program Jacob will have a tutor (The amazing Mrs S!) come to the house for two hours each day and teach him what his class mates are studying at elementary school. Mrs S will follow the lesson plans of Jacob's 3rd grade teacher, Mrs Erickson, and Jake's work will actually be submitted to Mrs Erickson. What this means is that when we are healthy enough to go back to school - Jacob will be right on track, Mrs Erickson will know right where he is at and reintegration will be very minimal. That is an amazing thing for a 8 year old.

I have to admit, I had gotten rather stressed trying to figure out the best way to blend school and chemo during this phase. It was a hard decision to keep Jacob out of the classroom(Jacob loves school, his teacher and his class), but it was essential for his health. This program has completely removed all fear and trepidation about his schooling.

Thank You to everyone who has helped set this up - and who is working with us. You are making the journey so much easier.

To All the 3rd graders in Mrs Erickson's class, Jacob got your letters and has been reading them with Mrs S. In my book, you are the most awesome 3rd graders in the world!
